Boris Johnson is living rent-free in a £20m property on one of the UK's most expensive streets. The former Prime Minister's London home is owned by the wife of a fellow Tory whose family and businesses have donated almost £10m to the Conservative party.
According to the Mirror, the townhouse is located in the Knightsbridge area on a street that is regularly described as one of Britain's most expensive - and is just a stone's throw away from Harrods. A nearby property is available to rent for £30,000 a month - more than the annual starting wage of a NHS nurse.
However, Mr Johnson told House of Commons officials that he estimates his current residence to be worth £10,000 a month. He was invited to stay in the property by Lady Carole Bamford, the wife of JCB founder and billionaire Lord Bamford.
